[yt-users] Strange artifacts in volume rendering movie made using parallel_objects

Hi Sam,

It looks like cam.comm.rank = 0 and cam.comm.size = 1 for all of the MPI tasks and at each iteration of the loop.

The only thing I can think of is that there is some invalid reference to the wrong communicator.  When doing this you can get rid of the cam.snapshot so that it runs through the code much faster.  I'll be on IRC tomorrow morning as well if you want to catch me there.

This is not due to my use of the enhance script since the artifacts appear in the raw frames and in fact the movie was stitched together using the raw frames.  I don't see any artifacts when I volume render individual frames in serial.  I'm doing one processor per file parallelism.
